• Cancer Research Couch Family Inclusive Excellence Faculty Program at Dartmouth Cancer Center
• Lebanon, NH Advancing Cancer Research Through a Commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, the Geisel School of Medicine and the Dartmouth Cancer Center seek to recruit outstanding physician-scientists pursuing laboratory, clinical or population-based cancer research while also advancing our Center’s commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging, either through their lived experience, their academic work or a focus on cancer health equity.

These Assistant Professor faculty positions are open to physician-scientists from all clinical specialties. The Couch Family Inclusive Excellence Faculty Program was endowed in 2022 by generous and committed donors Richard W. and Barbara J. Couch for the express purpose of supporting early career physician-scientists working in cancer research at the Dartmouth Cancer Center (DCC). The Couch Faculty Program is designed to help recruit faculty who will advance DCC’s commitment to diversity by providing a minimum of 40% protected time for research to accelerate their careers in cancer science. The planned outcome of the Program is to prepare diverse groups of clinicians, including those from groups Underrepresented in Medicine (URiM), for independent careers in cancer research and clinical leadership. Couch Faculty success will be measured by independent external funding, associated publications, and growth into leadership positions. Couch Faculty are expected to demonstrate movement toward independent, cancer-focused external grant funding. Faculty will cycle out of Couch funding as they attain independent external research funding, or after four years, whichever occurs first. All Couch Faculty will be active members of the Dartmouth Cancer Center, one of the country’s 57 NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers. Successful candidates will become full-time Dartmouth Health-employed clinical faculty at the Assistant Professor level working in laboratory, clinical, or population-based cancer research. The Couch Family Inclusive Excellence Faculty search will be kept open until the program is filled.
